  1. A

    Käppele

    In a prime location atop the Nikolausberg, the Käppele, built in 1752, is a triple onion-domed pilgrimage church designed by Neumann. The Stations of the Cross featuring life-size figures by Peter Wagner lead up to the church. The outside terrace is a great spot for photographs of the Marienberg and the city beyond.

  2. B

    Neumünster

    In the Altstadt, the satisfyingly symmetrical Neumünster stands on the site where the ill-fated missionaries met their maker. The baroque interior has busts of the three martyrs (the three Irish missionaries - Kilian, Colonan and Totnan) on the high altar and the tomb of St Kilian in the crypt.
